TR in Summer- Block 1 (July 7-18)

You may register for ONE two-week block of TR in Summer:

If interested in additional dates, after the registration start date of May 20th at noon (12 p.m.), families and caregivers are welcome to email therapeuticrecreation@abilitiescentre.org specifying additional block(s) of interest (in order of preference) to be added to a waitlist. If these blocks are not filled, spaces will be released on a first come, first served basis with earlier timestamps receiving first right of refusal.

The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday- Friday, however after-care is also available (until no later than 4:00 p.m.) for those requiring it. This requirement must be communicated to Abilities Centre staff at drop off.

Therapeutic Recreation in Summer, now in its 4th year, is the collaborative effort of Abilities Centre and Durham District/Durham Catholic District School Boards. Recognizing some skills built during the school year may be lost over the summer months (routine, transitions, and the like) the partnership looked to create a fun and memorable program to maintain this progress while bridging the gap between June and an August/September school restart. Abilities Centre Therapeutic Recreation Specialists, TR Assistants, Teachers in Training, and Educational Assistants come together to provide engaging activities spanning all interests; physical literacy-related activities, outdoor exploration, creative arts, and socialization activities encompassing teamwork and collaboration.
